Application filed November28, 1911. Serial No. 662,895.

To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEE KINGSLEY, of Syracuse, in the county ofOnondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Holders for Adhesive Binders, of which the following,taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear,and exact del scription.

This invention relates to certain improvements in holders for adhesivebinders, such as pastors, labels and similar articles of paper or othersuitable material having one side coated With an adhesive for afliX- ingchecks to bills and for any .other purpasters may be ap- The primaryobject-is to provide simple means for holding or maintaining one or morestacks of collated pastors in position for convenient removal andapplication one by one to the article or articles to which they are tobe applied without disturbing or disarranging the remaining pasters ofthe stack.

Another object is to provide simple means for automatically feeding thepasters into position to be removed one by one.

Other objects and uses will be brought out in the following description:

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the incased holderready for shipmerit and containing a quantity of pasters. Fig. 2 is asimilar perspective view of the holder ready for use, the case beingremovech Fig 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken on line 33,Fig. 2showing the case in dottedlines. Fig. 4. is a perspective view ofthe detached receptacle for the pasters and feeding means. Fig. 5 is aperspective view of the detached paster retaining cap. Fig. 6 is aperspective view of the follower. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of one ofthe pasters inverted.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, this holder comprises a receptacle1- for receiving and retaining a series 'of stacked pasters a-, afollower 2- and aspring 3, said receptacle being provided with aremovable paster retaining cap 4.' surrounding its upper open end. Thereceptacle l is adapted to be inclosed in a.

suitable case 5 for protecting the pas ters in storage or transportationand for this purpose its lower end is open and pro:

vided with bendable tongues or flanges 6- adapted to be bent ordeflected under thebottom of the receptacle --1 to hold 1t 1n operativeposition.

box. of sheet metal or other suitable material open at the top for thereception of the pasters -6L which areslid'able vertically therein andare fed upwardly through the open end of the receptacle and against theretaining cap 4. by means of the follower 2 and spring 3- as theuppermost labels are removed one by one.

The follower 2 may be made of paste board or any other suitable materialof slightly less area than the interior of the receptacle l so as tomove freely therein and is spring pressed upwardly by the spring 3 uponwhich it rests, the lower end of said spring being engaged with thebottom of the receptacle 1' as shown more-clearly in Fig. 3. The upperside of the follower is preferably conveXed or V shaped transversely soas to impart a similar form to the paster afor feeding the central.portions thereof upwardly and foremost through the open end of thereceptacle or rather through the openingin the retaining cap 4i and alsofor the purpose of retaining the pasters in more perfect alinement orstacked arrangement. These pastors --a which: are preferably made ofpaper coatedon one side with an adhesive are also rectangular in planand of slightly less length than the corresponding length of theinterior of the receptacl'e'j but are normally of greater width than theThe receptacle 'l preferably consists of a rectangular correspondingwidth of said receptacle so that when folded, the tendency of the edgesis to spread apart and to implnge against the adjacent side of thereceptacle,- thereby frictionally holding them against undue upwarddisplacement and at the same time allowing the upwardly arched centralportions of the pasters to protrude through the opening in the retainingcap This retaining cap is fitted with a frictionalfit for removabilityupon the upper open end of the receptacle -1 and its opposite sides areprovided with inwardly projecting flanges -7 projecting some distancebeyond the corresponding sides of the receptacle but spaced somedistance apart to leave a central opening -8 through which theupwardlyarched central portions of the pasters may protrude, saidflanges serving to engage the upper surface of the downwardly deflectedsides of the uppermost paster to additionally hold the stack againstundue upward displacement, and at the same time allowing the centralportion mainmg pasters are advanced upwardly through the medium of thefollower 2 and spring 3-, thereby impinging the sides of the top pastoragainst the flanges -7 of the retaining cap l which as previously statedtemporarily hold the stack against further upward movementagainst theaction of the spring -3-. The upper portions of the opposite ends of thereceptacle -1-' are provided with guards or guide plates 9- forengagement with the ends'of the pasters to prevent accidental. lateraldisplacement thereof.

The retainer l is preferably made of sheet metal and its flanges e-T-serve as limiting stops to prevent unduedownward movement thereof on thereceptacle, while its opposite ends as 10 are .made to frict-ionallybind against the corresponding ends of the receptacle to hold the capagainst upward displacement under the action of the spring 3- but may bewithdrawn by hand at. any time, as, for example, when it is desired torefill the receptacle with pasters. lVhen the receptacle is filled andthe cap 4 placed in operative position, it may be covered by the casingor cover 5 which telescopes with an easy sliding fit with saidreceptacle, the upper end being closed, while its lower end is providedwith lips or tongues -6 adapted to be bent under the bottom of thereceptacle as shown in Fig. 3

. to hold the cover in operative position.

In refilling the receptacle with pasters,

the retaining cap 4' may be removed and.

a suitable quantity of the pasters which are previously cut into thedesired form are stacked together and inserted into the open end of thereceptacle and upon the follower 2, thereby pressing said followerdownward against the action of the spring .3

after which the cap 4 may be replaced As each up-.

a follower withinthe receptacle and spring pressed upwardly and havingits upper face V-shape to conform to andengage with the fold of thel-owermostbinden 2. A holder for folded binders comprising a case havingtwo of its opposite side walls spaced apart a considerably less'distance than the length of the binder when flattened out for engagingthe ends ofsaid binders and holdingthem in a partially fold ed positionwith their apexes uppermost, and a cap fitted with a frictional slidingfit upon tlieupper end of-the casexand provided with opposite inwardlyprojecting flanges extendi mg beyondthe itdjttQBIlt sides of the caseand spaced some dlstanceapartto form a lengtlr wise opening ofsubstantially the same width;

as the binders and a follower within the case spring pressed upwardlyand having a V-shape upper face engaging in the fold of the lowermostbinder for forcing the apexes of the uppermost binders throughjand abovethe opening in the cap.

3. A holder for adhesive binders comprising a case having two of itsopposite upright sides parallel and spaced apart a distance less thanthe length of the binders, said binders being folded midway betweentheir ends and stacked within the case with their ends abutting againstsaid parallel sides so as to force the apexes of the binders upwardly,

the upper end of the case being provided 7 with an opening and stopshoulders'for engaging the opposite ends of'the uppermost binders, and afollower within the case spring pressed upwardly and having a V- shapeupper face engaging in the fold of the lowermost binder for forcing theapexes of the binders upwardly through the open top of the case.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on't-his 17th day ofNovember 1911.
